What Sands Physicians Say.

DENVER, COL. July 5.-[Spscial to The
Miner. The remains of the late Abram
Sands, accompanied by his widow and son,
arrived in this city to-day. They were met
ct the train by the friends and relatives
and conveyed to his late residence. The
iuneral will take place tomorrow after
noon. The fact of suicide has been &C.
cpted by bis friends here. DR.. Dennison,
who had been his family physician, said to
sNews reporter to-day: II have known
Mr. Sands for long time, and have been
bis medical adviser for the past two years.
He has had several attacks OF bilious
trouble, threatening chiefly the bowels,
accompanied with very tor
pid action OF the liver. One
OF the worst of them was caused by his
previous trip to Montnna, when the physi-
cau there experienced much difficulty in
getting his liver and bowels to work right
again. Mr.. Sands appreciated the difficulty
and danger, but he was a man OF
INTENSE NERVOUS MAKEUP,
yet be always had himself under good con-
troll and an experienced person would not
know from his own actions that he was
suffering. put it up this way: The jour
ney up there and confinement in the cars
etc., had bad effect, this time, as it
did before. There is always more or less
tendency to cerebral congestion to those
bilious stoppages, and, in addition, brain
trouble was made still more liable with
such an intense man because OF the excite
ment he was in, due to the business settle
msnt be was effecting. When he retired al
night he probably had pain in h'i
head. The impression that he was moi
well very likely may have weighed
on him. He may have taken some Codls
soothing pills which l had given him befor'
cleft for his bowel pains. but tney wer'
probably not sufficient to control the pair
and then I am afraid he took the brand!
which would have made him worse ana oe
sides he is not used to takingit. Under som
such condition believe his brain had glVei
way and he became temporarily insane.
